THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1838 TH E CORONATION. The petition which was presented by Sir G. De Lacy Evans, in the House of Commons, on Monday, was from a very large body of gold and silver lace " weave. s," not from lace " dealers," as was erroneously reported. A similar petition was presented by the Marquis of Lans downe in the House or Lords. These numerous and industrious artizans not only ask for a more magnificent Coronation (it is new understood that it will Le on a very splendid scale, and the procession will exceed a mile in length), but for its postponement, in order that they may have an opportunity, after a lung period of inactivity and distress, to execute the orders which now are given. In acMition to the orders for the Royal Households, the tailors and hatters are very busy for the nobility and gentry who intend to form part of the Coronation procession. Since the Queen's accession we observe that in all private families of distinction, ci!iier gold or silver !ace has become universal for the new liveries. In this respect our neighbours the French are at length imitat ing us. At tl): !ast Long Charnis the English liveries were the most achni red. THE BRITISH QUEEN. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state o the weather yesterday an immense number of people flocked to Limehouse to visit the new steam. ship which is to be floated out of dock this afternoon. A scene of ani. tnation and bustle such as was never before witne,sed on the banks of the Thames took place—men, women, and children, of all grades in so ciety, hastened on board, and in a few minutes the deck, cabins, engine rooms, the hold, and forecastle was cramme I to excess, and the company unmindful of danger, ran up and down the ladders leading from the deck to the lower past of the vessel, occasionally tumbling over each other. As fast as the curiosity of one party was satisfied and they bad left the ship another succeeded, and until sunset, the yard and the vessel were thronged with company. The amazing length of the ship her roomy decks, and her capacious engine-room, saloon, and cabins, excited great admiration. Platforms have been erected for the accommo dation of the nobility and gentry and their ladies, who intend to he present this day to witness the floating out of the largest 'steam ship ever built. If the Americans were surprised at the appears ance of the Great Western what will they say when the British Queen arrives at New York ? Our transatlantic brethren may expect her in the beginning of August. A contract has been made with scotch engi neers, Napier and Co., of Glasgow, to fit up her engines aid machinery, and she will proceed to Scotland for that purpose directly after she is floated out of the dock in which she had been erected. Her internal fittings up, the decorations of her saloon, a spacious apartment, and her furniture will he supplied by Engiish artificers. The floating out of the British Queen will take place at high water, and, to give her plenty of sea room, a tier of vessels in front of Messrs. Curling and Young's ship-building yard have been removed. 'rho floating out of the ship will be, comparatively speaking, an uninteresting spectacle. The launch of such a large ship from the stocks would have been a grand sight, Utility as wall as beautyi anti has beeni'a has been consulted bee and those who expected a regular launch of the monster ship will be much disappointed. The British Queen is a very handsome s yearsher n e str building, uct, on, and without an y di s _ paragement to the Great Western , she is undoubtedly a better looking craft. The poop deck of the la tter is wanting in th e B ritish Queen, ll two i n and our River-built ship is content with the old number, three masts the Great Western, though not so long as the new steamer, has four. The internal arrangements of the British Queen are very diff erent from those of the Great Western. `Whether her engines, and th e decorations and paintings of the British Queen will surpass those of her Bristol rival remains to be proved. The bows of the new ship a re surmounted with a full-length figure of her Majesty, with a sceptre in her right han I and the orb in her left. The likeness is well'prese rve d . On the whole the British Queen is deserving of the high character which our River-built ships have always possessed. We subjoin an accurate account of her dimensions, as furni shed b y the builders, Messrs. Curling and Young Bumf! 'VEEN'.

It appears by the provincial papers that her Ma jesty's birth-day was celebrated generally in the country with every mark of loyalty and respect. The celebrated comic actor, Potier, who retired from the stage a few yeirs ago, died two days since at Foutenay.sous Bois, aged sixty-four. GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP. olden time—of baronial and feudal legislation—a law made 600 years ago ' before England had a colony — and when her sway was confined to her own island—a low totally unfit for the present day, and differing as much from the spirit of your present laws as the feelings, minds, sad pursuits of the men of that day differ from those of this. It is a law, my Lord, which would deprive you, and every other per son in this numerous assembly, from emigrating to any country where reasons political or pecuniary might point out, and bind you to the coun try, where by the chance medley of circumstances you were born, in fetters as strong as those that bound the Saxon serf to till the farm of the thane whose born thral he was. Is it possible, my Lord, that at this advanced stage of civilization such a law would be enforced—a prerogative which the Crown of other na tions holds over their born subjects, and one which every enlightened being in the world, and particularly those residing in that independent republic of which I am a citizen, will and .night to look upon with horror and detestation ? I protested on my triel against the jurisilir , lan of this Court; that I could not be guilty of treason, not being a sunjast of Great Britain, but a citizen of the United States; and that if I Ilan committed an offence, it was one agaigst the law of nations, and that I could hot be tried in this province, but in England, or the country of which I was a citizen. It was admitted, my Lord, by the Court, that I was a citizen of the United States, but not less a subject, having been born in Ireland ; that being born a subject, no act of mine could make me aught else; that Great Britain could, notwithstanding my citizenship, hold me as a surest. Such doctrine, certainly, places the naturalized citizens of the United States in a singular predicament, obliged as they are to do military duty as well as the native born, without distinction. In event of war, if they were oreered to invade the British dominion, by refusing they would be punished by the one Government as for insubordination and cowardice, or obeying, be punished by the other as a traitor. A precedent was quoted by the Attorney-General in the case of Eneas M c Donald, which somewhat resembled mine. As your Lordship re marked, he was found guilty also, but not executed, and this hap.. pened niiiiity-three years ago. Since that time what a change has taken place among nations, as among men : More liberal and extended views have been held, both by the Governors and the governed; a new nation has sprung up from English colonists, with a population of up wards of 17,000,000, one-fourth of whom are in the same situation as myself, having been born under a Monarchy, but who have since become citizens of a free and independent Republic, whose Constitution was flamed directly opposite to the law laid down by this Court—" once a subject, always a subject." When tried, my Lord, I rested my defence on that ground. I did not call evidence to prove, as I might have done, that when pursuing my course from an American port, in an American schooner, and going to an American island, end in the regular channel and thoroughfare which all regular vessels take tast pass and repass from the ports of the states of New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin, I was fired upon in repeated vollies of muskets, . aaur Militia, Indians, and Negroes, of Malden, and when drawn upon ; ,a.r shores by the incle mency of the weather, and my men killed and a be the galling fire of 300 or 400 concealed riflemen, I fired upon them i... .sefence —this I would have proved, and if your Lordship could riaia. . r. nearly all of which was admitted by the very evidence brought agana, me by my captors, as they styled themselves—they, even -they, ad mitted the greater part. And now, my Lord, after three months severe imprisonment, the greater part of which time was past In chains, I have been tried for " not haying the fear of God in my heart, nor weighing the allegiance I owed her Majesty the Queen"—an allegiance which I did not consider myself to owe, and which 15 or 16 years before, I have solemnly sworn in open court, to renounce in the manner prescribed by the constitution of the United States. And what, my Lord, was the verdict of the jury ? A conditional one. Their discriminating minds plainly perceived that I could not be the citizen of one country, and the subject of another—that was incom patible, and they gave in their verdict, which to me seems a strange one—" If I was a subject, I was guilty of treason." lam not a subject, therefore I am not guilty of treason. I am free from saying, my Lord, or of wishing myself understood to say, that I have not done wrong, and acted contrary to the laws of my own country. But in extenuation of my offence, I would state to your Lordship that in the middle of December last, there came to Detroit a vast number of men, who fled from this country ; many of them wet e poor, hungry, and naked. They had fled from their homes and fami lies at a moment's noise. They told the story of their sufferings and their wrongs. These stories were circulated by the press, and belies cid by all; while your magistrates, and others in authority on our frontier, confirmed in the minds of many the same by their insulting and over. bearing conduct towards some of our citizens, whom business had ire. duced to go over among them. Then came the thrilling news of the cutting out of the steam-boat Ca roline at Schlossar, an indignity committed on our national honour—an insult on our national flag. Before that time, my Lord, nothing was done by the citizens of Michigan, nor was there anytning intended to be done, but contributing to the comfort of the unfortunate men who were said to be sufferers in the same cause, like the fathers of our own revolution, of 7G. Reports were also circulated by persons residing in Sandwich and Malden, that they were raising the Indians and refugee negro slaves residing there to burn Detroit and other places that had at' forded an asylum to those whom they called rebels. Excitement then pervaded every mind, and I, my Lord, in common with others, in an evil time, rushed headlong in committing a breach of the Constitution of my own country, and for which I am amenable to her own laws. To you, may Lord, whom both parties acknowledge to be a humane man and an upright judge, the melancholy task of pronouncing the sen tence of death, in any case, must be a painful one. How much more so must it be in this instance? Here no atrocious acts were committed, no murder nor arson, by men who,through the misrepresentations of others, and from the natural indignation arising from the outrage committed on their and their country's honour, and I can say from the best and purest motives that could actuate the human heart, have been hurried into an excess which a few men, to magnify their own prowess, have augmented into oneof the most horrible and atrocious acts of piracy. I will not detain your Lordship any longer, but would request you, if consistent with your duty as a judge, to favour me so far as to delay the final execution of your sentence sufficiently long that time may be had to lay my case before the proper tribunal of the home Government, and have your Sovereign's pleasure thereon. On Wednesday next, the 30th, the day on which her Majesty honours his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the three gates leading into Hyde-park at Piccadilly, Kensington, and Cumber_ land-gate, will be open for carriages going and returning. Carriages will return by the Uxbridge-road, and through Cumberland-gate; but no carriage, except the Royal carriages, will be permitted to return through the Kensington gate. CHURCH-RATES.--We noticed yesterday morning that a meeting was convened for Friday (to morrow) morning at ten, to attempt to make a church.rate for the parish of Lambeth. The follow ing is a statement of the money expended in the support of one fabric only (the Old Church), in addition to the large sums required for the four district churches :-1827, 1,8511. 12s. ; 1828, 1,6531. 95.; 1829, 1,293/. 12s. 4d. ; 1830, 1,0561 19s. 4d. ; 1831, 1,0321. 14s.

FRIGHTFUL CASE.—We (the Dublin Evening Post) have another melancholy instance in our Exchequer reports this day of the working of the tithe system in Ireland. A respectable trades man of the name of Tobin, residing in the town of Michelstown, issued by the Rev. Richard Hastings Graves, along with twenty others, for the paltry sum of 11. 3s. 4id. Being only tenant from year to year, he clearly is not liable, according to Stanley's Act ; but, in consequence of his holding about half an acre of bleach-ground, under some agreement or other, there is some doubt as to his liability to about three shillings tithes at farthest. He is sued, however, in the Court of Exchequer, and all the ponderous machinery of that Court is brought to bear upon him. What, therefore, is he to do ? 'she to submit to the demand, and i,ay the debt and costs in the first instance, or have recourse to the ordinary prac tice of the Court, to clear himself? The first course would fasten him to an illegal demand for life, and the second would entail costs incalculable upon him. Well, how does he act ?To save himself from the ruthless grasp of the Commissioners of Rebellion, he puts in a short answer, barely sufficient to set forth his case, and to swear to it. Tobin stated in his affidavit, that, from the time he swore his answer, he never beard of the cause until he was served with the decree, and arrested, on the 17th of February last, for two hundred and eight-five pounds nine shillings and eight.pence costs, including the entire demand against him and the others. Let it, therefore, go forth to the world, that this respectable and sinless man now lies in gaol, at the suit of a Minister of the Gospel, for a sum which now tar exceeds 300!., to recover an original demand for 11. 3s. 41t1., to the tithe of which he was never liable. We trust the rumour is erroneous that any of the nobility intend leaving town previous to the Coronation, owing to its being stripped of much of its proper splendour, as such a step would be in some degree defeating their own obj:ct, and, at all events, making " bad worse."—Morning Herald.

According to the plan of Radical agitation for Universal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, no property qu ,lification, and wages for attendance in Parliament, originated in Birmingham, and warmly entered into by the working men of Glasgow, this great de monstration of the moral and physical force of the masses took place on Glasgow green on Monday last. The procession mustered on the Green at eleven o'clock, forenoon, and proceeded to Parkhead, at the east CH trance to the city, in order to meet Mr. Attwood and the other gentle men of the Birmingham deputation. It is scarcely possible to estimate with any great degree of precision the numbers of which the procession was composed. It certainly was inferior to the first display in 1831, but still it was an imposing spectacle, the more especially when it was recollected that the whole was got up by the workmen themselves, without aid—it may be said without countenance—from the middle ranks. The men walked from four to six deep, in close order, and at a quick pace; and the whole procession took upwards of an hour and a half to pass any given point. The music was abundant tend excellent, and the banners numerous. Among the flags we observed one from Strathaven, that had waved over the champions of " the Covenant," at the battle of Drumclog. The procession moved along Duke-street,George-street, Queen. street, Argyle-street, Trongate-street, and London-street, to the Green, whey by threw o'clock there weregathercd together an assemblage of human beings, such as to impart the highest sublimity to the scene. On ores-. sions of this kind estimates of numbers are often made, not so much with reference to truth, as to the wishes of the parties who make them. With respect to this display we can only state, and we do it with contid ence,that if it were tree that 150,000 welcomed Earl Durham toGlasgow in 1834, nearly as many turned out on Monday in support of Radicalism. Mr. Tuaxt,a, of Thrush grove, a member of the City Council, hav ing been called to the Chair, several Glasgow workmen addressed the multitude in moving the resolutions and petition to Parliament, and, on thanks being voted to the Birmingham Deputation for their pr..sence and assistance. Mr. ATTWOOD came forward, and was received with loud cheers, beat ing of drums, waving of hats, and other demonstrations of hearty ay. plause. Mr. Attwood dwelt with much emphasis on tire distress and destitution to which the industrious classes of the community are pe riodically subjected, and to what he called the utt:r failure of the Re form Act in securing for the people good legislation. He then an nounced his plan of agitation, of which the chief features are the fol lowing. He calls upon Glasgow, and every city and town in the kingdom, to get up numerously signed petitions to Parliament for universal suffrage, &c. He calculates on obtaining at least two millions of signatures to these petitions. They are to be repeated again and again till Parliament is forced to take them up ; and should they be ultimately thrown aside, then the working men of the whole kingdom, together with such of the middle classes as may join them, will proclaim a solemn and a sacred strike, during which no work shall be performed in Bri tain, but every heart, and every head, and every arm, shall be directed to the prosecution of the people's rights. The other gentlemen from Birmingham, Messrs. Muntz, Edmunds, and Douglas, followed in the same strain; and Mr. Murphy and Dr. Wade spoke as a deputation from the Working Men's Association of London. The meeting dispersed with the same order in which they had assembled, Captain Miller, superintendent of the City PoliX, acting, to the highest satisfaction of all, as Grand Marshal. The banquet, or levee, in the evening, was attended by about six hundred, all apparently of the working classes Mr. Moir, tea mer chant, occupied the Chair, supported on the right by Mr. Attwood, Mr. r, of Thrushgrove, Mr. Muntz, Mr. Douglas, and Mr. Col lins ; on the iett Ly tire l'/!war , n, rf 11 , .! ton, Dr. Wade, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Edmonds The ttev. Iva. Edwards said grace with much solemnity and good taste, after which a short time was allowed for the discussion of the viands, and then the business of the evening commenced. Mr. Moir made an excellent speech, into which we catinot enter in this short sketch. Mr. Turner said he had dined with the magistrates since the meeting on the Green, and they had expressed great satisfaction at the manner in which the affair had been conducted; Captain Miller's speech being to the effect, that no meeting at which lie had been present was conducted in a better spirit. Mr. Attwood explained at some length his views of the currency question ; and Dr. Wade made two or three good hits at Dr. Chalmers. Mr. Douglas made a humorous and most effective speech; Mr. Murphy elicited rounds of applause ; arid Mr. Collins, who has gained great respect in Glasgow by the manner in which he has conducted his mission from Birmingham, closed the meeting in his usual quiet, sensible, and most attractive style. Without entering on the question agitated, we may safely assert that there never was a display in Glasgow to equal that of Monday. There have been occasions when more noisy enthusiasm was manifested, and when there was exhibited a greater amount of paraphernalia—the wealthy among the middle classes taking part in tire movement ; but never before did the workmen of themselves make such an array of mcral and physical energy as wa , presented on Monday, on the Green of Glasgow. TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, HER MAJESTY'S SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT. THE MEMORIAL OF THE UNDERSIGNED ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF STROUD. Your Memorialists beg to address your Lordship cn a subject which is in their view of paramount importance, with the respect doe to your Lordship's station, talents, and character—at the same time with the candour to which so large a proportion of your Lordship's constituents are entitled in addressing their Representative in Parliament. Your Memorialists, in common with a very considerable part of the British nation, deeply deplore the result of the motion lately introduced into Parliament on the subject of Negro Apprenticeship. With so much of the moral and religious feeling of this great empire brought to bear on that question, we did cherish the hope of obtaining justice for the nation and for the enslaved apprentices, which would only be a tardy discharge of the debt due to humanity and religion, every principle of which has been long outraged by the accumulated oppression of the negro : while, from your Lordship's well-known attachment to liberty, civil and religious, considered in connection with the unequivocal de monstration of strong and conscientious feeling which has been ex pressed on the part of your constituents, permit your Memorialists to say that they did also hope that your Lordship might be found among those whose views on this topic are congenial with their own. Your Memorialists, after directing their serious and best attention to the points at issue, and with all the deference which it becomes them to cherish towards the opinions formed by your Lordship and your Right Hon. Colleagues, cannot be convinced that any contract entered into with the planters by the people of England would be violated by the immediate and entire liberation of their enslaved fellow subjects in the colonies. Your Memorialists beg to add that only from conviction of duty can they be induced to address their Representatives in such terms on this painful subject, and to declare that the feelings and the suffrages of very many of your Lordship's supporters will become greatly alienated if, on a question so deeply interesting to them, their views are not repre. sented by their Members in the people's House of Parliament. Stroud, May 18, 1838. Presented by Mr. JOSEPH PARTRIDGE. Mr. SAMUEL S. MARLING. The above was signed by 653 electors, a very considerable majority of t he whole, in the short space of two days. The letter to Mr. Scrope ist substance the same. His name and style of address being substituted for that of Lord J. Russell. (From the Bristol Gazette of Wednesday..) The following table is extracted from the log-book of the Great II extern on her outw.lrd voyage, from which it will be perceived that her greatest run in 24 hours was 243 miles, and her shortest 183, making a daily average of 215, and an hourly average of 9 miles. Considering the unfavourable state of the weather, and the strong head winds she had to contend against, the performance is very good. On the Atlantic she made up to the packet ship of the Ist of April (which left Li. erpool eight days before her), and sailed round her, while the crew and pas senger, gave three cheers. Date.

" Sir,—Theundersigned Passengers on board the steam.ship Grea, Western, on her first voyage from the United States to England, having already expressed their conviction of the success of the great experiment of navigating the Atlantic Ocean by steam, and thus facili. Wing the intercourse between the Old and the New World, and secur ing to the inhabitants of both the advantages arising from this new era in the history of science and enterprize combined—beg leave to tender to you, Sir, their grateful acknowledgments for the satisfaction and comfort they have experienced on board your ship, and also for your kindness as a Commander, and the vigilance with which you have watched over our safety. Arid as our voyage has now reached its termination—a voyage which may more justly be denominated a pleasure excursion from New York to Bristol—we ask your acceptance of a piece of Plate, as a slight testimonial of our regard for your personal character, and just appreciation of one who has been so greatly instrumental in bringing to a successfisl termination this highly important experiment. " With the kindest wishes for your future prosperity, " We remain, very respectfully, your's, &c." • (Signed by 53 of the Passengers ) " On board of the Steam Ship, Great Western, " Bristol Harbour, May, 1838. " To James Hosken, Esq., R.N. " We, the undersigned, Passengers in the Steam Ship ' Great Western,' have the pleasure to congratulate you on the arrival of the noble ship under your command, in this harbour, after a short and pleasant passage from New York. We beg leave to express to you our thanks for the exercise of those kind and gentle qualities by which you have so essen tially contributed to our comfort and happiness during the voyage. We would also announce, through you, to the public, that the anticipations of security and comfort, which were derived from observing the size and apparent strength of this beautiful ship, the power and proportion of her machinery, and the splendour of her accommodations, have been more than realised by a residence of fourteen days on board of her on the bosom of the Atlantic. " We would further remark that it is in our opinion, only necessary to make a single voyage in this no'ile vessel, to be satisfied that compete success will attend the navigation of the Atlantic by stoam, with safety, comfort and dispatch. " having performed this agreeable duty, we beg leave to offer our best wishes fur your health al.(1 happiness, and have the honour to b:1 very faithfully, " Your friends and servants." (Signed by 51 Passengers.) " Great Western Steamship, Bristol, :22c1 May, 1833. " To the Passengers from New York by the Great Western steam-ship. " Gentlemen—l feel very highly gratified at the flattering approba tion you have been pleased to express at your treatment during our passage from New York, and assure you it wilt be borne in my recollec tion to the latest period of nay existence. I also tender you my best thanks for your offer of a piece of plate, as a testimony of your regard, which I accept with feelings of the most heartfelt satisfaction ; and should any of you, Gentlemen, again take passage in this ship during the time I have the honour to command her, it will be my constant aim to render you in every respect as comfortable as I have been so for. tunate to do, in this the first passage of the Great Western from New York to Bristol. " I am, Gentlemen, " Four's very faithfully, "JAMES HOSKEN." The Sirius brought home 17 passengers, first cabin ; 18 second cabin ; and 16 steerage. The Great Western brought 5,555 letters, and 1,760 newspapers ; also a quantity of cotton for the Great Western Factory. The interest manifested in this city on the arrival of the Great Western was very great. She had been expected for two or three days previous, owing to the un:ettainty of the precise period of her departure from New York. The arrival of the Sirius brought the first authentic intelligence of the day she was expected to leave, and in consequence it IST.3 calculated, correctly, that she would be here on Tuesday. Directly the news was made known, the - bells of the different churches struck up a merry peal, flags were hoisted, and guns fired. The passengets, with a large quantity of valuable luggage, were removed on board a small steamer, and reached the Hotwells about half past two o'clock. They expressed themselves much pleased with the urbanity and civility of the Custom-house officers. The Mayor of Bristol this day paid his respects to Lieutenant Car penter and Lieutenant Lynch, of the American Navy, passengers in the Great Western steamer, at the Gloucester Hotel, and at the instance of the Committee tbr conducting the celebration of laying the foundation stone of the Victoria Rooms ; and as a small token of friendship towards America, his Worship presented those gentlemen with cards of invita tion for the dinner to-morrow.—Thesc... gentlemen this day dine at the hospitable table of Robert Bright, Esq., at Leigh. AIR. COOPER'S NEW NAVAL NOVEL " HOME wain) BOUND; oa, Tun Chase."—A nautical novel from Mr. Cooper is always an object of interest. At sea he is eloquent, powerful, and true; his intimate knowledge of naval usages, his experience of the water, and his deep relish fur everything connected with naval life, im part an air of freedom and reality, a breadth, energy, and fidelity to his pictures, which have certainly never been rivalled by any other novelist. His new story " Homeward Bound; or, The Chase," is a remarkable work, perhaps the most remarkable of Mr. Cooper's productions. The interest is absorbing, and such is the skill with which every minute cir cumstance is described, that we are rivetted to the page with almost as earnest a feeling as if we participated in the peril's and adventures of the Montauk a,d its passengers. The management of the ship at sea, the chase, the disasters on the coast of A;rica, the encounter with the Arabs, the raft and the wreck, and, indeed, every particle of the nautical pana rains, is in the highest degree spirited and faithful. Looking back upon the impressions which the work has made, 'we are disposed to rank it amongst the best of Mr. Cooper's tales."— Atlas. TRADE.—We believe the demand for twist was somewhat slacker, though we did not hear of any lower prices being submitted to. In power-loom cloth, and especially of good qualities, there was a fair demand ; and generally, we may say, there is a pretty large business doing in manufactured goods. The fine weather, we understand, as might be expected, has brought an accession of country buyers into the market.—North Cheshire Reformer. We are glad to perceive that it is intended to give Sir John Herschell a public dinner in due and proper commemoration of his safe arrival in England, after his four years' absence in Southern Africa. Nearly every individual of note in the scientific world has come forward to aid in this tribute. We hope it will he open generally to the public to do honour to one of the highest ornaments, hereditarily and personally, to the highest of the sciences, astronomy. T HE ROYAL TAR STEAMER.—Mis elegant ves-. se;, beionging to the Peninsular Steam Navigation Company, and in tended, we are informed, to run with the Peninsular mails in lieu of the City of Londonderry, has arrived in the river. She has engines of 9.60 horse-power, and was propelled during her passage round from Greenock at the rate of twelve miles per hour. Her accommodations are said to be the most spacious and convenient of any of the Peninsular vessels, which, to those who have seen the Tagus, Braganza, or Iberia, is say ing a great deal. The Royal Tar takes, we believe, the mails of the 2d of June. THE IRISH CHURCH. --W e believe—we believe, at length, that, notwithstanding all th a t h as been said and sung to the contrary, we are on the eve of a settlement to this greatly vexed and vexatious question. Most sincerely —most gladly do we congratulate the Established Church on the prospect. The Tories and Orangemen failed to rescind the Appropriation Resolution. There it stands, and will stand, upon the Journals of the House of Commons. But the deela. ration ot . Lard J. Russell, on Friday night, to place the payment of the Clergy u pon estates in fee, without an y re f erence to the litigated ques _ tion, solves the difficulty, and leaves Tory opposition without a plea, while the vote on Acland's motion4by affirming the Appropriation clause, relieves Ministers and the House of Commons from the shadow of reasonable censure. In short, it is our deliberate opinion (and we speak from thefirst Conservative authority) that the Church Bill will pass this Session.— Dublin Evening Post. STATE OF TRADE.—We are glad to state, that our market yesterday presented a greater appearance of animation than for some time past. There was an Unproved demand both for goods and yarn, and better prices for both were very generally obtained. We un. derstand that the Sirius steamer has brought over a number of orders for manufactured goods, together with several buyers from New York, who have been for some time past strangers to our market; and there seems to bean expectation of a tolerable full trade to the United States. —Manchester Guardian. -1-14 47, , n GORHAMBURY RACES.

CHANTILLY RA C ES.— SUYDAY The Orleans Prize was walked over for by Lord Henry Seymour's Frank at the second heat, having wen the first, and convinced hi , competitors that they had no chance, and therefore they were all withdrawn. The Jockey Club Prize was won by Lord H. Seymour's \Ten dredii ; Margarita was second, Fortunatus third, Insulaire fourth , and Dolorosa fifth. Tlm Aumale Prize was decided in a similar manner to the first stakes, Lord H. Seymour's Oakstick having to canter over the course at the second heat, all the other horses being drawn. The Hurdle race afforded a great treat, being nobly contested. It was won by the Count, de Vaublanc's Swift. Mr. .111. Greive's Peau de Chagrin came in second. The rest were not placed. The Handicap was walked over, and thus easily won by M. Lu pin's Juliett a. There were two private matches, each for 500 francs. One be; tween the Prince of Moskowa's Mendicant and M.

CONCERTS OF ANCIENT MUSIC• The seventh end last but one of the Ancient Concerts, at Hanover square last night, was the longest and most tedious selection of the sea son, and did not terminate till near midnight, at which time by far the greater part of the visitors had taken their departure. The last chorus, in tact, was performed to nearly empty benches. The Directors of the evening were his Grace the Archbishop of York and Earl Fortescue , and there were present, in addition to those two distinguished persons , his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, her It. H. the Duchess of G!oucesti -, his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Cawdor, Lord BurgherFh„'..% Re. Mr. Mori led the band, in consequence of the al l ' sence of i r. 1 , . Cramer, occasioned, we are sorry to hear, by the death of one of his so.is. The Concert commenced with a selection from Haydo's Creation, upon which we have no room to remark; b u t are compeli:d to confine our remarks to such compositions as seem ed to require severally a distinct no ti ce . A selection from a service (mass) of Sebastian Bach ought to have been omitted; it was very poor stuff indeed, and, as we remarked, set the gentlemen ° f the orchestra tittering! Mrs. A. Shaw sung her very best, bu t the music consigned to h er was most un-vocal, if we ma y u" allowed to coin an expression f or so part i cu l ar an occasion. A g lee of Jackson's " Go feeble Tyrant," was in strict keeping with the words, for it was about as feeble a composition as we ever had the, ill fortune t° hear, although well sung by Mrs. Knyvett, Mrs. Bishop, M essrs. Bennett , and Parry. jun. Mr. Phillips gave " Arm, arm, ye b rave I" i n his be st and most effective styl e . A new d ebutante, a young G e rman lady, made her first appearance, in a se l ec ti on f rom Mozart' s Don Giovanni, the celebrat e d rec it a ti ve o f D onna Anna, '` r r, Ottavio, son morta," with th e A r i a " O r sai c hi l'onore. She was most successful, and evidently made a great impression on u her noble auditory. She has a ri c h-t one d soprano vo i ce, an d s ang Wl' the recitative, and the very difficult air, extremely well. Mrs. Shav:, sung Beethoven's recitative and air, " Ah perfido" and " per piet a : and again spoiled it, by transposing the composition, and injudici ously t 0 cutting out a portion. We mu s t, h owever, d o M rs. Sh aw th e justice n say she sings it exceedingly we ll ; b u t so fi ne an d c l ass i ca l a composition should be 1, ft free from the hands of the spoiler, and if it does not suit Mrs. Shaw in its original st a t e , it wou ld b e w i se and j ust in that JA n Y d leave it to those whom it ma y su it . Si gnor Ivanoff sang i n the se c l,, act with his usual, almost to o grea t , i n t ens i ty o f f ee li ng, " A to fra tan t of Mozart. Mrs. Bishop in " Grazie vi rendo," with the song er compir," sang with remarkabl e fi ne t as t e; i n d ee d we never heard her to so great advantage as on this occasion. Mori's violin Ha Pa de l, ni ment was excellent. The chor us " H ow exce ll ent t h y name ," Man was splendidly sung to, as we have already stated, almost Dare w all y The eight and last of the An c i en t C oncer t s t a k es p l ace on Wed"e' ja next, the 30th instant. • AC MORE FORGERIES of the STANDARD. Since the parsons' organ was caught in attributing to O'Connell Bence wWch he never delivered, and abandoned by a leader of its P a l t h Y p for that forgery, we had some hope that it would find h o nesty Was better policy, and give up its propensity to falsify, as a bad game. '— vain, however, did we expect reformation in such a quarter ; t he creature's at its dirty work again." From the Standard of Friday We take the following mendacious howl : " There was ;clear majority of 23 English Members against the Mi nistry, and also a clear majority of 13 Irish Members against the Mi nistry. If this be a triumph to Lord Melbourne and Mr. O'Connell, it is a triumph over the British nation = more particularly over the people of England, but we had almost said they deserve it, while they continue to be cheated of their votes by such persons as the Lemons, Puseys, Ben( tis, and the rest of the black-is-white' men. " The victory, however, has not been won only over the British nation, the, people of England alone are not trampled upon-the Protestants of the empire are also led as objects of contempt in the train of the great conqueror Mr. O'Connell. In the list of the majority we read the fol lowing names:-1. Archbold; 2. Ball; 3. Barron; 4. Barry ; 5. Bellew 6. Blake; 7. Bodkin; 8. Bridgman; 9. Browne; 10. Bryan; 11. Cal laghan; 12. Chester; 13. French; 14. Howard (Philip) ; 15. Lang dale; 16. Maher; 17. Nagle; IS. O'Brien; 19. O'Connell (Danicl)(the glorious majority)-20. O'Connell (John); 21. O'Connell (Morgan John); 22. O'Connell (Morgan) ; 23, O'Connell (Maurice); 24. ()Ter rall ; 25. Power (John); W. Power (James) ; 27. Redington ; 28. Roche (Edmond); 29. Roche (Wm.); 30. Roche (David); 31. Shell ; 31. S°: mers ; 33. Stanley (Massey); 34. Talbot (Hyacinth); 35. Woulfe ; "' Wyse; 37. Lynch. " Eighteen Papists to spare after forming the glorious majority. " The•above are all undoubted Papists, but we believe that we Ar e entitled to add to the list— " 38. Evans (George); 39. Evans (Sir George De Lacy). " 'The Hero of Hernani certainly professed the faith of "tome at h i ' outset in life. " 49. Macnamara ; 41. Smith O'Brien; 42. O'Callaghan. " There, gentlemen Whig-Radicals, look at the muster.roll of y our Romish auxiliaries. Ex u lt over us, British men (Englishmen Par' cularly), kick, spit upon, trample upon us, all Protestants. Victory by such allies won, • You must be proud to think upon." re'S So honest lago y ou t e ll the people of England that Lord Lisnlo brother, the Hon. C.

THE NEW ORIENTAL ROMANCE, <r NOV . I new romance, by Mr. Quin, cannot but prove accePl from the circumstance of its subject being so completely removed el our ' the common high wa y o f th e nove li st. Eastern story, too, bas m ar on our esteem, inasmuch as the publications of its class, known t , ° v literature, from Rasselas down to M or i er ' s l ast, have b een sPecislL pep'. titled to the admiration of both the critical and the un-critical. s Quin is quite an Oriental story-teller—love and war are h is tlieri l e we rapid adventures and quick-shifting scenes hurry through his rearrn Li ces —he leads his reader from the w ild s o f the Himalaya to the gorgeous Pal o° of Agra : his characters a re now d i sguised as Al Rasc hid, end , tes Viziers and Emperors. His minute knowledge of Oriental habits enab him also to give that minuteness of description to his action and drettn a _ re persona., which imp ar t s t o t h e whole a sense of reality, as if one w e r e reading no ingeniou s fi c ti on, b ut some chronicle faithful as the Mein ° of Aurungzebe. - -Norming Herald. SAVINGS' BANKS.--We understand that tilt" practice of workmen and domestic servants investing their savings in Government annuities is on the increase, and that St. Clement Da nes Savings' Bank alone has paid to Government u p wa rds of' 40,000/. iu , I *t the space of th ree years, of w h ich above 4,500/. w as for the quarter ending the sth ult. W e are persuaded that if this facility for old age were generally made known through the country, it vin n oe be much more extensively adopted, for the money paid in is in ctna entirely lost. If the party do not live to receive the annuity, or be u ble to continue the monthly or yearly instalments, the whole amount paid in is returned; so that by a payment of 455. a year (or little mor e than l Od. a week) from the age of :21, an annuity of 20/. a year is se cured for life after attaining the age of 60; and with regard to im'cie diate annuities, it appears that the terms allowed by the Act of Parlia ment are advantageous to persons of small means. —Morning Paper : , THE is SIRIUS" STEAM- SIIIP.—ThiS vessel,whlClZ had the honour of being the first steamer that made her voyage across the Atlantic, came up the River on Monday night, and moored off the took.
